Replacing Sensor Control Board With TMAG5115EVM

This section lists steps for replacing the sensor control board found in the NEMA17 BLDC motors with the TMAG5115EVM:

  1. Remove the backplate from the motor. To remove the backplate, remove the four screws found on the backside of the motor, opposite to the motor's shaft. See Figure 3-4. After the screws are removed, the backplate of the motor should come loose.

  2. Remove the three screws that currently hold the sensors to the bottom of the housing and remove the board. See Figure 3-5.

  3. Place the TMAG5115EVM inside the housing. The round plastic base will ensure proper alignment to the motor housing. Return the screws that were removed in the previous step and tighten. See Figure 3-6 for TMAG5115EVM alignment inside the motor.

  4. Align the base so that the wires of the sensor board and the wires of the motor are all facing the direction of the opening on the motor enclosure. Return the screws that were removed in Step 1 and tighten. See Figure 3-7.
